What a prospect 18 year old Archie Gray is, he has been very impressive since he came into the team.
Slotting in at centre back or full back he has been almost unflappable, you hardly notice him, which is a good thing, he goes about his business quietly and efficiently.
He rarely gives the ball away and plays with a old head on young shoulders, and we are yet to see him properly in his best position in midfield.
What a prospect we have on our hands, he is showing all the hallmarks of a top class footballer so far, long may he continue to develop.

Absolutely, said it the last couple of weeks, born for this level and will spend his career in the Prem or other top league.
That level of composure he has cannot be taught - it’s supernatural.
I’d be looking to extend his contract this summer

Didn`t he sign a 6 year deal so plenty of time to improve his contract

Sure but I’m sure the wages were low - we don’t want other clubs sniffing round. Get a huge release clause in there and reward him for his performances.

Apparently he`s signed on 75K a week, not too shabby for a 18 year old

Bergvall is growing on me too.
It may just be my imagination but he looks like he's bulked up a bit, seems a bit more robust on the ball and far more purposeful and confident in possession. His early appearances was just neat little 5 yard passes but he's gone up a level i think, and i like it.

Imagine earning 75k a week at any age. Ridiculous the wages the modern players get.

Not after an argument but!..
Amazing seeing the "you cant teach someone that", I'm sure some of you's know a little about his family and there were some decent ballers in there, he'll have come into this world with a ball tucked under his arm!..
If he came from a coal mining family I doubt he'd have the footballing knowledge he has, the people around him helped to get him where he is, and yes, I wasn't happy he went but for his age, we got a good deal, and the reason why is we knew how good he is and know he'll go a long way!..
So, good luck to the kid wherever he is in the future!.
His younger brother is also on our books and some argue he'll be just as good if not better, and no I'm not trying to sell him!.

I’ve been pro bergvall since he signed ….i know judging the interest of other clubs isn’t conclusive but the fact Barca wanted him at 18 and weren’t happy about not getting him spoke volumes
He just has that intelligence along with Gray ….has that knack of looking like he has ages on the ball….a great sign for a younger player especially

Gray(18) Sarr (22) Bergvall (21) could be our CM for the foreseeable.
Impressed by Spence's 2 starts this week as well. I like the way he has really good recovery pace, long strides, and he doesnt jog, he moves quickly into position.
Dont feel too worried about missing or resting Udogie or Porro with this guy.
Glad its coming together for him. Ive always thought he has all the attributes to be a great Ange full back.
Well done Levy, a great buy for £12m!!!
